What’s the Problem?
“Inside the Network” is organized by horizontal sector rather than by vertical branch.
While telecommunications is still a horizontal industry, embracing every organization there is, more and more, customers expect their telecommunications suppliers to understand their business problems first, and come up with relevant technology solution afterwards.
Other organizations like technology distributors have understood this, and are helping resellers with information and training that relates to the overall strategic issues faced by their customers.
First Know What Information You Need
How can IT resellers make best use of the Telecommunications Industry Association’s TIA 2012 event?
Some preparation before attending can help you to understand the most pressing and important problems that customers face in your market. That will give you a better idea of the educational tracks or the parts of the exhibition that will be the most relevant for your company’s clients.
Accordingly, you can target contacts and information that correspond to real business opportunities, rather than just coming away from TIA 2012 with a bunch of solutions looking for a problem.
